shay C (ID: 000000c600c98f5f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/12/2019 Needs some glitch fixes. Constantly refuses to connect. Audio doesn't always come through, kicks me off from time to time, and I need to reconnect. Today and yesterday it's been impossible to cast even a simple Slides tab and I've had to rely on AirPlay all day (a huge pain, especially for audio).
